+cdpack is a small utility for creating ISO 9660 images for
+a multi-CD binary package collection. The utility creates
+ISO 9660 images for all the binary packages in a specified
+directory. A choice of two algorithms is available for how
+the packages are grouped. The "no duplication" algorithm
+arranges the packages so any package on CD number `n' will
+have all of its dependencies on CD numbers 1 through `n'.
+The "no inter-CD depends" algorithm will place certain
+packages on more than one CD to ensure that each CD is self
+contained (all package dependencies are satisfied within
+the single CD).
